Look at
the birds of the air:
they neither sow
nor reap
nor gather in barns,
and yet your
Heavenly Father
feeds them.
[Matthew 6:26]

YEAH?
Well....You FEED them,
and then You KILL THEM!
.....where's that part
about the SPARROW?
When it DIES?
What about THAT?"

"Look, child!"

"I dunno, Lord.
(Sad frown.)
I think that's really MEAN.
Those animals don't know
anything. What did THEY
do? THEY didn't do NOTHIN'!"

[NOD.]
"Look, child."

"And: ANOTHER THING!
(Turn back to face air conditioning
vent.)
How could You DO SOMETHING,
like THAT?
And, what's this about them
not goin' to HEAVEN?
HUH?
What's THAT ABOUT?"

[GENTLE VOICE.]
"Look, child."

(Turn away.)
(Sip SAMS orange soda.)
(Turn on the radio.)
(Turn off the radio.)
(Flip some more tattered pages around.)
"I dunno.
I just don't understand You,
at all, Lord.
I just don't know.
It's very sad.
Very sad."

[SORROWFUL GLANCE.]
"Yes, child.
[PATIENTLY WAITING.]
It is."
*************************
What I tell you
in the dark,
utter in the light;
and what you
hear whispered,
proclaim
upon the rooftops.....
are not two sparrows
sold for a penny?
And not one of them
will
fall
to the ground
without
your Father's
will.
[Matthew 10:27-29]

whether the Giant Panda is a bear....
a big raccoon...or, in its own
species [about to become extinct.]
The Chinese word for 'panda'
is 'xiongmao' or 'Giant Cat Bear'.)

If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
